* readelf.c (process_symbol_table): Set gnubuckets to NULL after
-*- text -*-
+* The gprof program has been given a new command line option:
+ --external-symbols-table=<filename> which reads in symbols from a specified
+ file.
* The plugin target has been added to bfd. It can load the same shared objects
used by gold and uses them to provide basic support for new file formats.

The @samp{-n} option causes @code{gprof}, in its call graph analysis,
not to propagate times for symbols matching @var{symspec}.
+@item -S@var{filename}
+@itemx --external-symbol-table=@var{filename}
+The @samp{-S} option causes @code{gprof} to read an external symbol table
+file, such as @file{/proc/kallsyms}, rather than read the symbol table
+from the given object file (the default is @code{a.out}). This is useful
+for profiling kernel modules.
+
@item -z
@itemx --display-unused-functions
If you give the @samp{-z} option, @code{gprof} will mention all
